PROTECT YOUR HEART Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

THE RICH FOOL
Luke 12:13-21 Devotional Verse: - "And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Vs.15)
It is amazing to hear that people can be rich and foolish at the same time. It looks contradictory. This is because in our thinking, we expect every rich person to be wise. We often assume that it takes wisdom to be rich. This assumption is quite true but we have not taken time to separate Godly wisdom from worldly wisdom (James 3:13-18).
Jesus responded to a man who was seeking to take up a case with his brother concerning inheritance. Jesus thought us to be careful of covetousness. As a citizen of the kingdom of God. Your life is no longer yours, not to think of the materials in your possession. Jesus then gave a parable of a rich fool who does not know that all things belong to God. He was so selfish with his wealth that he lost his soul. Friend, don’t ever let this happen to you.
The wisdom of the world tells people to stop giving to have more (Luke16:15) and makes them covetous. People with the wisdom of this world never see what they have as good enough. This is why they can do anything to keep getting more because their hope lies in money. The wisdom of God always asks us to give, because our trust is not in money but in His divine provision (Matthew 7:24). God will always ask you to give to know whether your love is for money or for Him. As a kingdom citizen, it is important that you get used to this. Be happy and grateful for the much God is giving you and you will have access to more of His Blessings. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me not to be a servant but a master to money.
“HE THAT IS NOT CONTENTED WILL BE CONTAMINATED” THE UNJUST STEWARD
THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.
ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
